Smirk

Smirk is a text console IRC client for Unix operating systems. It is small, fast, portable and easy to use, yet it is full featured. The thing that separates it from the crowd is its intuitive menu driven user interface.

Smirk is a code fork of Rhapsody project that seems to be currently abandoned.

It is written entirely from scratch in C and uses the ncurses library. It compiles and has been tested on Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, Solaris, IRIX, HP-UX, Tru64, Mac OS X, BeOS, Hurd, Syllable and Cygwin.

Most importantly, Smirk is FREE software, released under the GPL license.

Available Features:

• Multi server support.
• Clean, easy to use menu driven user interface.
• Favorite server, channel and user lists.
• Ignore lists.
• Configurable interface color themes.
• Large file (over 2GB) support.
• SOCKS proxy compatibility.
• Protocols that are supported:
• IRC (obviously)
• DCC chat
• DCC file transfers
• CTCP
• SOCKS4 and SOCKS5
